I watched and at the end had these thoughts:

Our guys rose to the occasion after a deflating loss in the AAC tourney and getting screwed in both the NCAA and NIT selections.

For once in my life, I thought the refs did a reasonably good job calling and controlling a pretty chippy game.

It has been a remarkable year.  I am glad it did not end in the WORST possible way.

I don't miss those folks in Otown one bit and I hope we can scrape that UCF stank off our shoe for a while now.

Go Bulls!

Yeah idk about that. All of this realignment is strictly for money.

Unless I missed Bama leaving for the Ivy League.

Apparently the Tide does focus on macroeconomics...

New CFP deal was signed this afternoon and the ACC will be getting $1 million more per school than the Big XII.

Will that help the Noles and Tigers to pay to leave, or at least a couple of hours of their attorneys' fees?

It's ours. 

And outside of the absurd UCF spin that is helpful to a conference how exactly?

I think it promises the same Powerful Placebo Effect that wearing my lucky underwear to games has helped us win so many championships over the years!

I don't understand it either Coach.

I think they need to throw these plans in the trash and start over. 

A third of a billion doesn't buy as much these days it appears.  Perhaps we need to seek out new design genius. 

Or we can try to get an even better stadium by threatening to move the teams to another school, a la the pro team owners' handbook.

I’m sorry to say, but College sports are dead. When reflecting on my youth, I LOVED college sports more than professional sports because of the rivalries, regional battles, students doing extraordinary things and the fact you could see that a lot of the kids loved their schools and had pride in being apart of that. It was more down to earth and relatable. It has gotten so bad, my kids don’t even watch college sports anymore. It’s sad that we let it get this bad. I say “we” because we the people can refuse to give money and rating to these greedy conferences by not watching. Sorry, but it makes me sad. 

Welcome to the CFCC (College Curmudgeon Collective)!  I think it is the natural progression of things.

How do you explain UAB?  

As we have learned from football and now basketball, no matter where they rank in the conference, when it comes time to play the Bulls, Birmingham is Vulcan Awesome!

The Portal opening today is wild. I’d hate to be a coach in today’s environment. 

Can players switch and play for a higher seeded team in the NCAA tourney?  I mean it's basic dance etiquette, is it not?

I’m just upset that I finally thought USF could pull off the conference championship. Now we are stuck with Oviedo. Just a disappointing end. 

Not if we beat them by 20.

Yeah, even then.  

But it doesn't wipe out what was an unexpectedly great season.   

I can be simultaneously proud of what the Bulls accomplished and sick of the whole system these days.

Ahhh, the joy celebrating a record season with an invitation to party with our dear friends Otown in the newly cockeyed NIT.

Just got the chance to catch the game on replay.  Knox was unconscious today.  Keep the effort and the focus and it is all right there for the taking.  

Go Bulls!

Just killin' time before the game .... and it's never too early to self-flagellate.

As with most things NIL-related, not so black and white.  I suspect this will evolve rapidly along with everything else in the universe.

I really don’t get how a 68 team tournament excludes USF (assuming we don’t bomb our conference tournament).

Is our conference that terrible?

You will melt under the hot Tampa sun and you will like it! You got that?!

I'm now and old, fat, heat-intolerant Bulls fan.  I may limit my in-person viewing to road trips north of the southern border of North Carolina.  Oh, and New Orleans or Vegas....

All I ask is, where are the giant safety umbrellas?  I think the designers may be sadists.

USF, if they focus, can win it all. We just can't sleep on any team. 

We've already proven we can beat any of the teams, with the exception of UAB.  Let's just prove we can beat all of them in a row.

Go Bulls!

This is not a $300M+ stadium design. sorry.

I agree it's poop and it'll probably be mocked as such, especially when we hopefully get into a better conference. We'll have the crummy but brand new stadium.

Maybe, but a crummy but brand new ON CAMPUS stadium!

Hoping the stock keeps rising and doesn't split.

Our Bracketology for 2024! We list projections for all of NCAA Basketball tournament seeds as well as the NIT tournament in March.

 

As I am reading this, it is projecting the Bulls as a NIT two seed.  Am I missing something?

NCAA or bust.

Anyway, I like the hope of getting asked to the Big Dance.

I wanted so badly to attend the AAC Tourney, but wasn't able to pull it off after 10-day Florida trip for funeral and other family obligations.  Now with Memphis already out it will really get interesting.

A Penny for your &#$%@+! thoughts Tiger fans?

In my opinion Charlotte is by far the worst of the locations to visit the campus and surrounding area, but lots of beautiful mountain activities an hour or so away.

Not a huge fan of Charlotte for sure, but it is close to my crib and beautiful parts of the Piedmont and Smokies.  One great thing about NC is that it offers a little bit of everything to satisy various tastes, from beaches to mountains, Nascar to wine country, etc.  Love it up here.
